More ramblings on Christmas

Before I head home from the office, I just wanted to give you a short update. The doctor's office actually managed to get all our paperwork ready and I picked it up this morning. Hubbie is getting his fingers printed right now. We might mail out the paperwork this afternoon. I am concerned it won't arrive there any time soon, but driving all the way to the agency in MD might be a little bit exaggerated.

I also send my application out today for the job of my dreams in Caracas. They are already negotiating with someone internally, but who knows. Maybe I'll still have a shot. I probably have an interview in February when I'm in Europe. I already talked to the personal chief.

So next week is Christmas and we will be heading down to North Carolina. We will stay with my FIL whom I love. We will be celebrating at my BIL's house. My MIL is coming there as well. I have mixed emotions how Christmas is going to be. My BIL's wife is very strange. I feel like she hates me. She is always friendly when we are down there, but after we leave it is like we don't exist. She never calls and doesn't seem to be interested in our lives at all. Until a couple of months ago, I used to call there once in a while. I stopped. She was screening my calls and didn't call back. I even deleted her phone number out of my cell phone. What is the point? She doesn't seem to care about my existence.

She knows about our struggles, but never, not even once, asked how I was doing. It is really weird. I was so happy to marry into this family, because I hoped to become friends with her. When I was growing up, there was no girl my age in our family. I always missed having a sister. I had so hoped we would be friends.
